Jeff Daniels narrates new film

Shares

Martin's dreadnought has become perhaps the archetypal acoustic guitar outline, and with 100 years of history behind its belt, Martin has seen fit to honour it with a documentary film.

Narrated by actor and musician Jeff Daniels, the Ballad of the Dreadnought tells the story of the first dreadnoughts built in 1916 for the Oliver Ditson Company right up to today's limited-edition and artist models.

The film features interviews with Martin CEO Chris Martin IV, as well as artists including Crosby, Stills and Nash, Steve Miller, Rosanne Cash, Vince Gill, Jason Isbell, Seth Avett and many more.
